like, it searches files. but with a window. and it's fast. obsessed.


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

fsearch [OPTIONS]

literally just the command and then you can throw options at it. that's it. that's the whole vibe.


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

So FSearch lets you search for files and folders by name πŸ”βœ¨. The way it works is it uses an index, which is why you get results almost instantly as you type β€” no waiting, no spinning beach ball, no "please wait" energy. You type, it slays. Periodt. πŸ‘‘
